Hmm, I garbled that a little bit so I better clarify... well done me.


On the laptop:

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install openssh-* -y
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
sudo systemctl status sshd
ssh localhost
<confirm that you can access the laptop locally here via SSH>
ip addr show [remember the laptop's IP address here]


The above steps are for setting up SSHD and finding the IP address to
connect to on *any* of your systems - do this on any computer that you
want to listen on SSH (that's all of them by the way). Do this first on
your working laptop for testing and then the faulty laptop for fault
finding. I'd definitely enable it on your Desktop as well while you're
at it.
I am following this as best I can. I think I have things running on the good laptop, which is upstairs in the same room as my desktop. Here is some output from that laptop.

To me that seems to say that SSH is running. Am I right? My user name is neilwin and the computer name is charlie. 

The relevant bit from ifconfig is

wlp4s0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 0c:d2:92:d3:99:10
          inet addr:192.168.1.10  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e7e:7cad:4275:30d5/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:167020 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:118073 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:242473895 (242.4 MB)  TX bytes:12808748 (12.8 MB)

which suggests to me that my laptop address is 192.168.1.10. Is that right?
On the desktop I am told that SSH is up and running. However, when I try ssh neilwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx I get no response. The computer just stops and I have to use Ctrl-c clear it.
